“I will search for him myself because he should pay,” a furious Wally Faussett said outside Bellevue Hospital, where his
daughter Walikque died of a gunshot wound to the back.
The 24-year-old mom appears to have been the unintended victim of a furious clubgoer who was gunning for the bouncers who had just thrown him out of Club Motivo, police said.

“A coward runs, shooting with a gun into a crowd,” Faussett said. “He's a coward. He should die, right there on the street that he started shooting. You should've been a victim. The bullet should've ricocheted off something and came back and hit you in the head."
“My daughter was a good girl, she loved her son,” the victim’s heartbroken mom, Wendi Rodriguez, 41, said before lashing out against guns and gun violence.

Walikque Faussett, 24, was gunned down early Monday outside a Manhattan club. She appears to have been the unintended victim of a furious clubgoer who was thrown out by the bouncers.
“How does anyone get a gun these days?” she said, breaking down in tears. “How do you do that? You going around with a gun, killing people? How can I bury my first born? She was the oldest of three. I feel like this is a bad nightmare."
Two other women were also wounded by the short-fused 26-year-old suspect, who remains at large.
The NYPD identified the wounded women as 30-year-old Deborah Raji of Brooklyn, who was grazed in the left shoulder, and 25-year-old Lauren Renee Rondat, who was struck in the hip and left foot. Both were in stable condition.
Bullets began flying a little after 4 a.m. as the Flatiron District club was closing, witnesses said.

Three women were shot, one fatally, outside the Motivo Night Club in Manhattan on Monday.
The suspected shooter, who is also from the Bronx and believed to be a member of the “DYMES R US” gang, got into a fight with somebody inside the club and vowed revenge after he got tossed out, police said.
“I’m going to get my gun,” he vowed.
Minutes later, gunfire erupted and Walikque Faussett was cut down.
“It started out with some altercation in the club,” 25-year-old witness Ashley Valle said. “When I looked the bouncers were trying to get him out the club, scuffling with him. We were about to step out when shots rang out and everybody scattered.”

Police mark the scene outside of Motivo where the women were shot early Monday.
While the shooter fled in what witnesses described as a dark-colored BMW, the doomed woman lay bleeding on the sidewalk.
“We were about to step back out and at this point we see the two women laying on the ground on the sidewalk, they were shot,” Valle said. “EMS was trying to resuscitate one of the females but nothing was working. They were trying to revive her but she was not responding at all.”
As for the other woman, Valle said “she was laying on her side and there was blood on the lower part of her dress, you could tell she was shot.”
A 34-year-old clubgoer who asked not to be identified told the Daily News he was leaving the club when he heard three shots “one after another.”
